I am the Director of Graduate Studies for the Master of Science in Real Estate Program at the University of Washington. Prior to my current assignment, I was the director of the Real Estate Research Center and the coordinator of the e-Commerce Program at Georgia State University. Before returning to academia, I was an executive vice president and head of strategic planning for Lend Lease Real Estate Investments, a global company and the successor firm to Equitable Real Estate where I founded the Investment Research Department and directed it for nine years. I have published widely in academic and professional journals. I received my BBA in Real Estate and MS in Marketing Research from the University of Wisconsin. I received my PhD in real estate and urban land economics from the University of Wisconsin under my mentor, the late Dr. James A. Graaskamp, one of the leading academic proponents of applied real estate research.
